Chapter 12: The Magic Power Engine

Although the exhalation reaction is very small, it is unprecedented for a saint like Linsha to take a deep breath due to dissatisfaction with others; this simple change can be considered a qualitative improvement.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoJOiTSTMI
In particular, Yaming was quite suspicious. To prevent Linsha from discovering any issues with her body, he subtly exploited Linsha's dissatisfaction, using all his mental power to enhance Linsha's sympathy for the front desk lady...

Seeing the front desk lady so frightened that she turned pale, Linsha felt sympathy for her. Exaggerated sympathy mixed with a trace of dissatisfaction towards Chris, resulting in a new emotion: disgust. Not a passive physical hatred of strange men, but a subjective loathing of Chris as a person. Though it was subtle, it was enough to make Linsha angry.

“Miss Linsha…”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurjPaXtaLt
Looking at the slightly unfamiliar Linsha in front of him and in his memory, Chris opened his mouth to explain something. He realized today seemed to be his unlucky day, and continuing might lead to trouble.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQS8CHL0zZ
“Miss Linsha, then I won’t interrupt you today.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NY7UV5fxf
After a very polite greeting, Chris left with the others present. Linsha couldn't help but feel soft when she looked at Chris's "lonely" figure.

[How could I be angry with him? The reason was originally because I failed to treat him in time, leading to his mental exhaustion and deteriorating nerves.]
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oN65kR26e
Thinking of this, Linsha wanted to call Chris back, but before the words came out, she remembered Miss Tenys, who was very afraid of Chris.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6bzXp9cOk
[If it's my fault, you can yell at me, but how can you get others involved?]
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpVkFKE4dR
“Miss Tenys, are you all right?” Linsha inquired with concern, diverting her attention from Chris.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjam388NrOO
“It's okay; thank you for your concern!” The front desk lady, now recovered from her fear, waved indifferently and resumed helping Linsha with the promotion procedures.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaGADYPdBD
In contrast to the polite attitude during Chris's presence, the front desk lady appeared more casual. Linsha, though a noble like Chris, kept her identity secret, revealing it only to him and bringing just two guards when leaving her house.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cseo0Rwzi
"Okay, it's done!" The receptionist handed Linsha the new adventure card with a smile. “Congratulations, Linsha; you are one step closer to your dream!”

[Ding! Congratulations to the host on completing his personal mission: to become an adventurer]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host on completing his personal quest: Promotion to Level 2 Adventurer]
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuqNwkt8mF
However, Yaming was caught off guard by the unexpected notices.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG86d1Jr0ZS
Haa? No...what's happening? I'm not even human; how can I become a level 2 adventurer?! When do I have personal tasks???
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5ixR90jad
Perplexed, Yaming opened his status board and closed his eyes to search for it. Eventually, he found a small envelope flashing slightly in the upper right corner.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB0M83amNU
Haa? When did this thing appear?
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9FdiErASi
Clicking on the envelope, Yaming discovered the system mailbox. The first mail was "Personal Quest Now Released: Become an Adventurer."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6sGzLLl8L
Considering the time this message was sent, it seems he received it during his battle with the goblin shaman. After the fight, Yaming swallowed the magic amethyst, recovering the 12,000 points lost in the silver treasure. Busy experimenting with his upgraded skills, he missed the mail until the system prompted its activation.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9882vppmAH
"But... it is clearly Linsha who has been promoted to Level 2 Adventurer, not me.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjREsRmR9Ys
Confused, Yaming wondered if, while being a parasite on someone, they could complete system tasks on his behalf.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHJDhV9RvP
No, that's quite outrageous, isn't it? Is this a system bug or compensation for my bad start?
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVTPkeUrDj
I just recalled the beginner's guide mentioning a refined competition system for decades, ruling out the possibility of bugs.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMQNf3LrLn
Forget it... Don't think about it now; let's look at the rewards.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXEPdBPAe9
Yaming clicked on the next two mails. The first is the reward for being an adventurer... the magical power engine.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRHAHjJzdZ
The Magic Power Engine is the first reward for all contestants. Palm-sized magical energy shields enhance various abilities when equipped. Completing system tasks later can provide crystal cards to boost the power of magic armor, serving as an additional component for contestants.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HlOFxxhCq
However, using this magic has its downside: it exposes the user's identity. Only contestants can use magic engines, and if equipped with magic armor, it would undoubtedly reveal the user as a contestant.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsXjIOP6ay
“As a plant, I cannot be equipped with magic armor."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkGEVn7fp8
Curious, Yaming wondered: If Linsha, who snooped on him, could complete his personal mission, could she equip the magic armor on his behalf? Would other contestants think Linsha is the participant, unaware that Yaming, a parasite in her body, is the mastermind behind the scenes?
